| Summary |
"The Effluent Eye argues for the decolonization of human rights, attributing their failure not simply to state and institutional malfeasance but to the very concept of human rights as anthropocentric-and, therefore, fatally shortsighted. Combining witnessed experience with an array of decolonial texts, Rosemary J. Jolly argues that the granting of "rights" to individuals is meaningless in a world compromised by pollution, poverty, and successive pandemics"-- Provided by publisher. |
